To be made available in a well known high street pharmacy at a cost of £120.

For those not showing symptoms.

When the cost comes down and these tests are wider available this could be a game changer to get night clubs, swingers clubs and the general hospitality industry to open back up. But what cost must these tests have to come down to so that it's viable

I seriously doubt it, it's very easy to get a false negative if you really want to.

The cost will be a negative for many people.

The cost is too exclusive....that's a weeks food for some. But for some who have posted need a test for a flight,it's probably quite reasonable if it's just a drive to your local boots store.

It's a month's food.

No matter the cost: The question that shouts our to me is, how many who are showing no symptoms will want to take the test?

So many seem to be their best to avoid the regulations it creates a moral issue for them if they get a test and it's positive.

What about the negative positive test results? They're a bigger concern than the positive negatives that most are talking about.

Your last point is probably the biggest issue, particularly if it's seen as a "health passport" to get businesses like clubs open again.

Which would answer your first point, if people can do things that are forbidden at present, many would be willing to pay (something) for that...

Absolutely, not many people ever died from a false positive result. Usually it's an inconvenience

£ 120 quid....... I could think of a lot better things to spend £ 120 quid on. It also goes to show how expensive all this testing must be. Even if it's a tenth of that the daily cost must be mind boggling.

I think they are going to do PCR tests in 48 hours, which are needed for flights but the 12 minutes tests may be a different test type

Plus all the staff at the testing sites, I've seen lots of jobs advertised for vacancies at test sites doing various roles. £120 a shift some of the sites were paying.

I wouldn't trust the paper it's written on on that very basis... I wouldn't trust the holder.

Only reasons I'd get tested is if I had to due to 1. Having symptoms and needed to know either way or 2. Legal requirement for travel or work.

I can't see any other reason why I would.

As far as clubs or large socials are concerned I wouldn't be visiting or attending till the virus has slowly died out. Can easily live without them as I've done the last 10 months. It's not an essential part of life.

They announced the test (at that well known high Street chemist) they were trying to sell it as"reassurance test especially if visiting vulnerable relatives". Sorry, would rather not see family than pay that, and of course it's only valid for that day. Not a hope in hell people would want to pay even half that on a regular basis to see family.

As already pointed out, it also raises other questions such as how do you get home again lawfully if you now know you've tested positive & had gone in to the town by public transport.

A bit like an MOT it’s only valid for the moment you have the test

The price is still high but its good you can get one quickly. These need to be deployed for people travelling by air to reopen the airlines.

The Heathrow testing needs to be expanded elsewhere and we need to modify the arrivals process too.

Least you can fix the old bangers, the more modern ones you just discard after 15 years ??

All it shows is that while you were in the shop you were virus free if the test shows negative.

There is no guarantee that in the process of leaving the shop you will not catch the infection.

What do you then do, go back again for a retest and then after that????
